Tansen

Rate this book
The story book talks about Tansen, the musical gem in Akbar's court. From imitating animal sounds to igniting a fire with his song - Tansen's genius was unmatched. His voice was so much in demand that wily patrons used it to gain political advantage. Such a talent could win loyal friends and a beautiful wife, but it could also make others viciously jealous. In Emperor Akbar's court, he was a jewel and remains to this day a shining symbol of classical Indian music.

Utterly beautiful

This comic book on Tansen is utterly beautiful. The illustrations are precious like gems, and the pleasure of reading it is better than watching a movie...I read this while listening to amjad Ali khan's sarod music. That made me feel the heart of every piece of drawing, and to know the atmosphere of the comic book. I loved this book!!!!
